Ashburton, Devon, TQ13 7DE

ABOUT THE PROPERTY Set along Blogishay Lane, just moments from the heart of Ashburton, Greenaway Cottage is the kind of home that makes you slow down the moment you step through the gate.

A brick-arched entrance and wrought-iron gate open onto a charming glazed garden room, laid with a classic black-and-white chequerboard floor and lined with warm exposed stone.

It sets the tone for everything that follows: a cottage full of character, thoughtfully updated, and wonderfully easy to live in.

With two generous double bedrooms, a welcoming sitting room, a well-planned kitchen and dining space, and a private sunny courtyard, Greenaway Cottage has been successfully run as a holiday let in recent years.

This lovely home would suit buyers looking to continue that use just as well as anyone seeking a lock-up-and-leave bolthole or a full-time home within easy walking distance of the town's shops, cafés and amenities.

ACCOMMODATION The sitting room is the heart of the cottage, a generous, light-filled space with a dark-stained ceiling beam and a handsome painted fire surround framing a stove on a slate hearth.

Recessed alcove shelving adds character and practical storage, and there's a useful under stairs cupboard. Glazed double doors open back to the hall, drawing light through the ground floor.

It's a room that works equally well for cosy winter evenings and relaxed summer days, with plenty of space for two large sofas.

The kitchen and dining room is a sociable, practical space with room for a family-sized table.

It's fitted with cream shaker-style units, dark worktops, an integrated oven with gas hob, and space for a dishwasher and tall fridge freezer.

Exposed beams and deep-set windows keep the cottage feel, while a door leads through to a handy ground-floor WC, a real bonus for guests and visitors.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are generous doubles, each with exposed beams and a real sense of space.

Bedroom one is a restful room with plantation shutters, a deep feature wall and room for a king-size bed alongside an armchair and furniture.

Bedroom two currently takes twin beds with ease and keeps its original cast-iron fireplace, bathed in afternoon light. This is a flexible room equally suited to guests, children or a home office.

The bathroom has been stylishly refitted with white metro tiling, a bath with glass shower screen and mixer shower, a pedestal basin and a close-coupled WC.

Plantation shutters give privacy while still letting in plenty of natural light.

OUTSIDE To the front, a private paved courtyard is enclosed by a characterful stone wall and timber fencing, a genuine suntrap with room for outdoor dining and planters.

It's the perfect spot for morning coffee or a glass of something cool on a summer evening, and a rare find so close to the town centre. Please note there is no parking with the property.

It's close enough to stroll into town for morning coffee, fresh bread or supper out, yet set back from the bustle so the cottage keeps a peaceful, private feel.

For owners and guests alike, that combination is exactly what makes it special: you can leave the car behind and live life on foot.

Ashburton itself sits on the eastern edge of Dartmoor National Park and is one of the area's most appealing small towns.

It's historic in character, lively in atmosphere and well served for everyday life.

Its centre is known for an excellent range of independent shops and food businesses, including a traditional ironmonger's, a delicatessen, a bakery and specialist retailers.

Ashburton Cookery School has helped put the town on the map as a destination in its own right. This is also what has made Greenaway Cottage such a popular holiday let.

Visitors can walk to the town's cafés, pubs and restaurants in minutes, and then head out onto the open moor for walking, riding, cycling and wild swimming.

Stover Golf Club is nearby, and the South Devon coast is within comfortable reach for days on the beach.

For those making it a permanent home, Ashburton offers schools, a good range of local amenities and a strong sense of community. The town is also well connected.

The A38 is on the doorstep for easy access to Exeter and Plymouth, and Newton Abbot, around 7½ miles away, has a mainline rail service to London.
